A 19 year old has launched his own airline for real and has been hailed as a new "Richard Branson". One newspaper alleges he made his fortune by selling 'an airline computer sim software firm' which he set up in his bedroom when he was 15 years old.' He gave up 'A' levels to get his CPL when he was 18. he is reputed to fly an 18 seater PS plane as both Co Exec and pilot.
The news story - with his name - appears here:-

The question is - is he one of us? Secret Secret

Wow, to own an airline at that age is a tremendous acheivement. Hopefully the new airline will continue and expand into bigger and better things, which I am sure it will.
